A few days ago we blogged about Bootle on Merseyside. A friend from Liverpool has now sent me an amazing little piece taken from Jamie Carragher's life story.

Carragher is the Liverpool FC Vice-Captain and European Cup Winner. He also originally hails from Bootle.

In the opening pages of his book, he has this to say -

'My book of Revelations begins with the most dramatic:
if my mum hadn't been a Roman Catholic,
I might have been aborted.
Paula Carragher was given the option of a termination
due to complications halfway through her pregnancy.
She was told I had spina-bifida- a birth defect that affects
the spinal cord.  She was too religious to consider abortion,
no matter how disabled I'd be.
'Our Lord told me to have the baby', she still claims.
She's the rock on which my family is built.
I owe everything to that decision
she took thirty years ago'.
 
As our friend from Liverpool says -

'Let's continue to give thanks for a creative culture of life and pray for an end to the culture of death.'
